did you have any problems with the front cylinders running rich because of the lack of proper air distribution with the elbow?

I don't have the means of monitoring separate cylinders so I went with a slightly rich overall setting. 13.8-14.2 overall idle/cruising steady and as much as 12.5 WOT.

LONG TIME UPDATE...

I got a dyno testing in Nov 12' and with the stock throttlebody choking the system down, I pulled 384 rwhp I've since modified the elbow and got a 90mm tb. Reassembly in progress right now and retune expected shortly afterwards. Switched the TH400 to a 4L60E (originally a T-56) so I've had lots of changes again... Few **** shots here...

Blown head gasket dynoing...

Not so good looking oil...

Work in progress...

Cleaned, tanked, reamed, new bearings throughout...

Reassembled, torqued, gasketed, the works...

At home, awaiting a few other touches...
